Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced

2 large onions, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons ginger, grated

2 medium tomatoes, chopped

2 teaspoons turmeric powder

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon coriander powder

1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon garam masala

4 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee

1 cup water

Salt to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into medium cubes. Peel and slice the onions thinly, and finely mince the garlic and ginger. Chop the tomatoes and set aside.

    Fry the Onions: In a large pot or skillet, heat the vegetable oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they turn golden brown, stirring frequently. This may take about 10-15 minutes.

      Add Aromatics: Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Spice it Up: Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Stir well for another 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

          Incorporate Tomatoes: Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes soften and break down, creating a sauce.

            Add Potatoes: Carefully add the diced potatoes to the mixture and stir to coat them in the spices. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

              Simmer: Pour in the water, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Allow the potatoes to simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender, stirring occasionally. Make sure there’s enough water to prevent sticking but not too much to make it soupy.

                Finish with Garam Masala: Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the garam masala and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

                  Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve hot with steamed rice or flatbreads (like naan or pita).
